Having ploughed through the UK underground for over a decade, Sussex-by-the-sea’s Lower Slaughter unexpectedly returned in 2024 after an extended hiatus, with a shift in personnel, a new line-up & all-new music, which has now emerged within the form our brand new album ‘Deep Living’ out in June 2025!
The four piece once described themselves modestly as a band “who make loud riffs” though The Quietus description of “lurching noise-rock that occasionally works the angles but is chiefly a showpiece for big fuck-off riffs that call to mind Pissed Jeans, Nirvana and Harvey Milk” may be more accurate, and most certainly still holds true now.
Since their debut album release in 2017, the band has garnered high praise from the likes of BBC Radio 1 & BBC 6Music, The Quietus, Artrocker (no.1 album of 2019), All Music, Loud & Quiet and Flush The Fashion, as well as finding fans among the likes of BBC Radio 6 presenter Shaun Keaveny, BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens & cult comedy legend Stewart Lee, whilst also sharing stages with such bands as Pigs x7, Melt Banana, JOHN, Ditz, No Age, Part Chimp, The Men, Hey Colossus, USA Nails, Sex Swing, Gnod, among many others!
Human Leather are a furious two-piece of bass & drums destruction. Sitting somewhere between noise rock and sludge punk, this DIY outfit have been gracing stages and peeling skin from listeners’ faces, since May 2016. During that time gigging up & down the UK, from DIY house shows to supporting Melt Banana, Unsane, Mclusky, Viagra Boys, Big Business & Part Chimp, Human Leather have delivered their chaotic savagery to all ventures and venues seeking aural abomination. "Tom Close’s drumming is from the explosive, attention deficit, hitting-all-of-the-things-all-of-the time school. Amée Chanter’s bass has a magnificent noise rock tone and her vocals are a deep bark that’s frankly unsettling. Their music is raw, ill mannered and urgent." - Echos and Dust "Equal amounts fun and crushing. Well worth checking out." - RIFF.underground
